It's been five months since I've started gymming again, so I decided it was time for progress shots. (I thought it had been six months but judging by my " before" post, apparently not. Oh well.)
When I was taking these photos I was thinking, "meh, I guess I'll do this even though there's not much of a change." Uhh. Before shots come in handy.

When you start to doubt and question things, it's easy to forget that you're not the only one who has questions. I've been trying to find my place in the church for a while.

It's time to arrange some kind of workout schedule to vary things throughout the week (I'm pretty okay with getting done what I want during the week, but it's usually... at the end of the week, which is not productive ( Read more... ) -

Be proud friends: I have survived my first anime convention.
(ComicCon and like don't count because, well, comics.)
When I first approached the hotel I started to get super-nervous, because "OMG what am I doing I've only watched five animes" and other people's costumes were intimidating but it was SO FUN. A bunch of people requested to take pics of ( Read more... ) -

Do you recall that social event that I said I would bail out on yesterday? So, as I was packed and ready to duck out, I bumped into everyone by the elevators. And they said, "just come for a little while! Just one drink!" And they're so nice and I never get to talk to people outside work so I caved rather easily ( Read more... ) -

I woke up this morning after my second session with the personal trainer, and I was feeling pretty good. Even last night it wasn't so bad; I probably could've taken a walk around the block before getting on the bus ( Read more... ) -
